Jesse, I appreciate the informative response. Yes, I would think this information should be much more accessible, Maybe preserved in: http://docs.fedoraproject.org/yum/en/sn-using-repositories.html On 10/3/07, Jesse Keating <jkeating@xxxxxxxxxx> wrote: > The two keys used right now are > > pub 1024D/4F2A6FD2 2003-10-27 > uid Fedora Project <fedora@xxxxxxxxxx> > > Used for final releases and updates. > > pub 1024D/30C9ECF8 2003-10-27 > uid Fedora Project (Test Software) <rawhide@xxxxxxxxxx> > > Used for Test releases and updates-testing. Interesting, as on the system where the check SUCCEEDS it reports merely: [root@localhost ~]# rpm -qa gpg-pubkey* gpg-pubkey-4f2a6fd2-3f9d9d3b [root@localhost ~]# which does NOT include the "rawhide" key? On the system which fails the check, after importing and enabling only from fedora mirrors, I find: [root@localhost ~]# rpm -qa gpg-pubkey* gpg-pubkey-4f2a6fd2-3f9d9d3b gpg-pubkey-1cddbca9-3f9da14c gpg-pubkey-e418e3aa-3f439953 [root@localhost ~]# Does anyone recognize these other two keys? > Both of which are installed on the system, however not imported into > the rpmdb. Given that I tried both: [root@localhost ~]# rpm --import http://ftp.linux.ncsu.edu/pub/fedora/linux/development/i386/os/RPM-GPG-KEY-fedora-rawhide [root@localhost ~]# rpm --import http://ftp.linux.ncsu.edu/pub/fedora/linux/development/i386/os/RPM-GPG-KEY-rawhide [root@localhost ~]# on the system that failed to validate, without the desired effect, some of the puzzle remains. Does Pirut cache the imported keys when it starts, and fail to notice any keys that have been imported by the time one selects the "Apply updates" command button yet again? Does anyone have the time to read the source / experiment / Bugzilla this? One insight that I hope will not be used counter-productively, is that the system where the check succeeds was installed from the f7 LiveCD. The system where the check fails was installed from the f7 DVD. While I still have not been shown which files or imported keys account for its success, this user prefers the GPG-key capabilities supplied by the system installed from the LiveCD. Will this advantage remain with these media of the f8 vintage? This may be something to record in: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/F7ReleaseSummary (in the vicinity of the item about NetworkManager being a default application only on the LiveCD system) if we can only deduce what the crucial difference with GPG keys is. Cheers, Nelson p.s. Yes, in my hurry I burdened us with an imprecise Subject line, which could have been more accurate as: all I wanted was to install an additional kernel, not a crypto lesson Apologies for sloppily implying one could update a kernel. -- fedora-test-list mailing list fedora-test-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-test-list
